I’m not saying Frazier shouldn’t be accountable. He should and so should McDermott. It is both or neither. McDermott is a good head coach and he’s done great good in Buffalo. WITH THAT SAID, many of our coaches on the defensive side of the ball need to be fired right away! Our staff needs to be held accountable. Frazier 100% needs to go, no questions asked at this point. Many a heads need to roll at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to know how many missed tackles we had tonight, it seemed like a constant all night. Think they got him once, maybe ran him out of bounds another time.

FireChans Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Honestly, bottom line, protecting sidelines with 13 seconds left when KC has 3 timeouts is one of the largest coaching blunders the Bills have made in a long time. Levi gave up that long pass to Kelce up the seam because he is way outside protecting the boundary. Who cares if they go OOB. They had 3 plays max they could run. Making Mahomes hold it a second longer is infinitely more valuable. Just an absolute lack of understanding of the game in the most critical juncture, and predictably cost us the game. No words for that kind of mistake. Just terrible. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Brown Eye Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 This loss may rank up there with some of the most gut wrenching losses in team history. You literally have to TRY to lose with 13 secs left on the clock and you are kicking off to the opponent. TRY to lose. I don't think I will be able to shake this loss for many months, if not years, especially if KC coasts to a SB victory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their defense JUST gave up a 60 yard TD on a Catch and run and you have to think about that to. here’s what I do know about this defense. There was about 4 times in the 2nd half where they neeed a stop to give Allen a shot to win and they did it. They failed the last 3 times (the Cheetah TD, the 13 seconds, OT when they probably had no legs), but man they gave Allen a shot for much of this game. I would have obviously liked to see the defense play differently that last 13 seconds….but man these guys had KC under 30 until that last drive they had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would mean McDermott would have to cede control over it. It’s pretty much the same construct and scheme as he ran in Carolina. That’s what has to change. I don’t know what Frazier could bring to the table if he had more control, but based on his track record I don’t think he’s the answer. I would move on from him and find someone who would actually run their own defense. So I guess I’m on the same page with Frazier, but I don’t want to see him swapped out for another guy who is just there to run McDermott’s defense.

The defense did probably about as well as you could possibly hope, all things considered. They got to Mahomes. They forced them into punts and FGs. you should be proud of Frazier and this defense Horrible take… I’m not proud of Frazier or the defense tonight… we are going home because of Frazier and the defense tonight, why would we applaud that you talk about perspective but have none as to why we lost this game… 13 seconds and we let them go 60 yards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All_Pro_Bills Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) We'll likely never know exactly what Frazier and McDermott were really thinking here. 13 second left starting at the 25 with 3 timeouts. They strategized it for a situation where the offense had 1 or 0 time outs left where getting to the boundaries to stop the clock was something the offense needed to do. Just modifying the defensive alignment to play off 10 yards and not focus on the sidelines and instead focus on doubling specifically Kelce and Hill would have almost certainly resulted in a stop. They had time for 2 plays of 25 yards but not enough time for 4 plays of 10 yards regardless of the timeout situation. What's most disturbing after digesting the outcome for about an hour is not the loss but how completely obvious and clear this should have been to the coaches. But the defense they called just set up the 11 players out there for failure. And added another heartbreaking loss to the list when we all should be getting psyched up for next weeks AFC championship at the stadium instead of not even caring about it.
